Bears Looking to Trade Three Players.....................

I wanted both as well.

If Donald can maintain his level of play for 4 - 6 years, he may be a slam dunk for the HOF.  

But if you compare Shelton's numbers with Goldman's, I am sure we got the better NT.  Goldmam had 4.5 sacks, 16 tackles and 6 assists in 15 games (12 games started).  

Shelton had 0 sacks 17 tackles and 16 assists in 16 games (16 started).

wow, that would be very cool! can he play C guys?

I like Sutton, but he does not fit the scheme. You'll see him, if he's a bear, primarily on goal line. he gets penetration 'cause he's an athlete and often just beats opposing guys with his first step. his 6'0" height helps him get under guys imo and he could stunt in a 4-3 or four man front nickle and dime (he had more than one pass rush move in college). I think he's best as a sub guy, 'cause in college he looked really streaky. Sometimes that's work ethic, but I just think a 300 pound guy at 6' is going to get tired playing a lot of snaps- especially if his game is about beating you with agility and speed.

Ego can play DE on this team but he doesn't hold up in the middle as a NT. I didn't like the pick, but he is another guy that might look better in four man fronts.

I actually think the bears sign Swamp Thing to the 53 man roster if they can move any of these guys.

I love Meredith but really thought they'd put him on PS, or at least he'd be the guy they put on waivers over Braverman. NFL always wants quick guys, and Braverman fits that bill. I know Mariani did everything he was asked to do, but I'm happy he's gone even if it means Royal might stick.

yeah. It looked to me fairly early on that at the very least we had not gotten a very much worse player than Shelton and possibly a better one. We did great with Goldman. He is better than Shelton.
